JUNIOR TENNIS SKILLS PROGRAM (and matchplay)
(AGES 6-11)
Improvement is the number 1 aim of the Tennis Skills program - because if children can improve their tennis skills quickly and progressively, then it's only natural that satisfaction, enjoyment and mastery will follow.
​
In other words, tennis is a lot more fun if you're getting good at it!
And focusing on developing these essential skills needed for tennis - and especially the skills required for competition - is our number one goal.
​
The Junior Tennis Skills program is suitable for children aged 6-11 of any level, as all players are grouped according to their standard and level of experience.
​
From basic tennis skills, these progress to starting and controlling a rally and the technique required on forehands, backhands and serves.
​​
​
Please note that registration in this program also includes eligibility in the Sunday morning matchplay program every Sunday during the school term (11 am - 12 noon).

How does this program get my child ready for competition?
The junior tennis skills program is designed so that students practise all the shots that are needed for playing competitively. This includes the serve, forehand and backhand, volleys and smashes. Competitive singles and doubles games are also used so that juniors develop a sense of what it is like to play with scoring points and games.
